What is the language in Vietnam

Official language in Vietnam- Vietnamese (tieng viet).

The Vietnamese language is also widely spoken in Cambodia, Laos, Thailand, Malaysia, Australia, France, Germany, the USA, and Canada. It is spoken by more than 80 million people worldwide.

Language of Vietnam has characteristics in different regions of the country. There are three main dialects: northern, central and southern.

Since Hanoi is a city with a developed tourism infrastructure, in hotels, restaurants and cafes the staff speaks conversational English language. In the service sector, French and Russian are also spoken. Difficulties in translation Russian travelers are ignored in developed tourist centers of Vietnam.

Language of Vietnam has a complex phonological structure. One word, pronounced with different intonation and tone, can have up to six meanings.

For a long time Vietnamese language was influenced Chinese language. Two-thirds of the words in the Vietnamese language come from Chinese, and during the period of French rule, Vietnamese vocabulary was enriched with French words.

Until the beginning of the 20th century Vietnamese alphabet was hieroglyphic. But a little over a century ago, the Latin alphabet was introduced in the country. Diacritics were added to Latin vowels to indicate the tone of pronunciation of the letter. The modern Vietnamese alphabet consists of 29 letters.

Vietnamese language also serves as a means of communication in higher levels, and for conversations among ordinary people, in addition, it is the language of education and business.
In addition to Vietnam, this language is considered one of the main ones in, and is also found in the USA, Australia, and others European countries. If we talk about the total number of all speakers of Vietnamese, there are already more than 75 million people around the world.

Features of the Vietnamese language

If we talk about classification, then Vietnamese belongs to the Austroasiatic family and the Vietnamese group. Judging by its origin, it is very close to the Muong language, and then simply separated from it. Vietnamese was originally classified as a language in the group Thai languages, however, after much research, he “returned” to the Vietnamese group.
Like any other language, Vietnamese has many dialects, of which there are 3 main ones, which, in turn, also have their own dialects and dialects. In the center the northern dialect is common, in the city - central, but in the surrounding areas - southern. Dialects belonging to the central ones are more archaic. All dialects differ from each other in phonetics and vocabulary.

Vietnamese language and its grammatical features

The language has about 2,500 syllables, but depending on the different dialects, this number may vary. Vietnamese belongs to the group of isolating languages, being also a syllabic and tonal language. In almost all languages ​​of the Vietnamese group Difficult words are reduced to monosyllables, but this often applies only to historical words; now there is a tendency towards the reverse process.
There are no inflections in the Vietnamese language, just as there are no analytical forms. This means that all grammatical relationships are built thanks to function words, and not by inflection (adding suffixes, prefixes and affixes). Parts of speech related to nominatives include adjectives, verbs, and predicates. Related terms are used instead of personal pronouns. The language has prepositions, but no postpositions.

Words in the Vietnamese language are formed by adding affixes, moreover, of Chinese origin, root formation and reduplication (doubling a word, syllable or the entire stem). A feature of word formation can also be called the fact that all those components with the help of which words are formed are monosyllabic, i.e. monosyllabic. By the way, one syllable can have several meanings, and the meanings change when the intonation of their pronunciation changes.
Vietnamese sentences have a fixed word order that fits the “subject – predicate – object” scheme. The word being defined precedes the word being defined, and all classifiers stand between the numeral noun.
Most of the words in the Vietnamese language are borrowed from and, and they belong to different time periods. The language also contains a lot of native Austroasiatic vocabulary. People's names in Vietnam consist of 3 words: father's/mother's surname, nickname and given name. You can’t call Viets by their last name, like ours, but by their first name – as many as you like. If we talk about the peculiarities of Vietnamese names, then previously the middle name indicated the gender of the child; for girls there was only one word, but for boys there were several dozen. Then this tradition disappeared.

Why is Vietnamese so popular now?

Since this language is spoken in many European and Asian countries, it is not surprising that more and more people want to learn it every year. Some people learn it simply “for themselves,” while others need it to do business and open branches in this state.

Many goods from this country are now comparable in price and quality, and their culture and traditions are so interesting that many are starting to think about learning the Vietnamese language. In Vietnam itself, in resort areas they speak English, and other popular languages.
Students of the Vietnamese language note that it is very similar to Chinese: the syllables in both carry meaning. Intonation plays a very important role: if you say it wrong, the conversation doesn’t work out. In general, this language is quite rare, since very few language schools exists in our country. Classes often begin only after groups have been recruited, and you have to wait. It is better to find an individual teacher, which will be faster and sometimes better. By the way, you should not forget that if you go to the country of the language you are learning and live there for a month or two, you will learn the language by itself.
